Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy’s acclaimed synth-laden retro-thriller details the sordid sequence of events that lands a blood-stained scrap of mail on the desk of a county post-office’s “dead letter” investigator, and its murderous repercussions.
In late August 1619, a ship arrived in the British colony of Virginia bearing a cargo of twenty to thirty enslaved people from Africa. Their arrival led to the barbaric and unprecedented system of American chattel slavery that would last for the next 250 years.
Although the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution end slavery in 1885, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, the struggle for total equality in America is still on going.

while trolling the web, my heart gave several pings of nostalgia after coming
across the Deadline Hollywood article “Petula
Clark, Lesley Gore, Dusty Springfield Musical ‘A Sign Of The Times’ Sets NYC
Debut”. As I read the article, I was immediately transported back to my
early teen years and my room where I kept my little blue box record player that
played 33 1/2, 45, and LP recordings made of real vinyl.
I
remember that after school and on weekends dancing and singing along to each
songs mentioned in the article (“Downtown,”
“Gimme Some Lovin’,” “Rescue Me,” “I Know A Place”) and many other music
artist of that times. Now in New York City the musical, A Sign of the Times to honor
these artists will open soon. In my view and knowing full well that the tribute will be a
success, I hope that it will make here to the
Duke Energy Center for the Arts - Mahaffey Theater here in Tampa Bay.
The official
synopsis: Summer, 1965. With the country in transition – as the war in Vietnam
rages on and struggles for civil rights and women’s liberation command
headlines – one aspirational young woman finds herself in New York City, and
ready to dive into this brave new world. In A Sign of the Times, journey back to America’s
most unforgettable decade as a young photographer tries to make her way amid
the changing times that defined an era. -- Deadline Hollywoo
I just watched one of the greatest love stories ever. Anyone
that really knows me knows that I love dragon stories, the good ones, the funny
ones and the ones about dragons that will eat you up.I love them all. I guess my fascination with
them started after watching one of the many King Arthur adaptation films, in
which Merlin was communicating with the dragon beneath his crystal cave.
However, all we saw as viewers was deep ripples being stirred by something large
that we could only imagine was the dragon swimming beneath the water. Nevertheless, from that day on I was hooked
and it doesn’t matter what part of the world the dragon originated from, I have
watched and read about them from the time I was a young girl and now up into my
senior years.
This brings me to the subject of tonight’s post. While
trolling the Roku Channel; I found the film “I Am Dragon”. The film is a heartfelt
dragon story about a princess offered up to a dragon while singing a
traditional dragon song on the day of her marriage. If the princess’s betrothed
finds her and kills the dragon, then he is considered worthy of marrying the
princess and a mighty dragon slayer. However, in “I Am Dragon” there is more to
this princess and dragon story than one would guess. This is a great film for the entire family,
and as far as ratings goes, “I Am Dragon” is up there with such films as “Dragonslayer” (1981), “Reign of Fire” (2002)
and “Dragonheart” (1996 and all its sequels).. ‘I Am Dragon” is a 2015 Russian
film.
